Seller Updates

Image

Thank you for sharing your feedback on our first Seller Update of the year. We’re listening, and we’re using what you shared to improve how we communicate with sellers and provide clearer, more helpful updates to support your business on Poshmark.

What’s Coming Up

  • Overweight Shipping Labels: We’ve heard that shipping heavier items on Poshmark can feel complicated. To make this easier, we’re simplifying how overweight shipping labels work by moving to flat-rate pricing. We want sellers to feel confident when choosing the right label for heavier items. Once this is live, we’ll share details in our Support Center.*
  • Bulk Smart Sell: We’ve heard from many of you that Smart Sell has helped simplify pricing and offer management, but we understand you need more flexibility. Soon, we’ll test a new way for sellers to enable Smart Sell across multiple listings at once, making it easier to automate selling at scale.
  • Combine Orders: We’ve heard your feedback about combined orders and are making adjustments to reduce confusion. We’ll share more details soon.

What We’re Testing

We’re continuously experimenting to improve both the seller and buyer experience on Poshmark. We’re excited to share early visibility into some of our feature tests. These may roll out gradually, be available to a limited group, evolve over time, or not launch based on what we learn from community feedback.

  • Text My Order: For sellers who opt into SMS notifications, we’re testing text reminders to help prevent delayed shipments. Sellers may receive a text notification to ship an order if it has not been shipped within 5 days.*
  • SEEL Returns (Worry-Free Returns): We’re testing a new optional buyer protection powered by SEEL. This is a buyer-paid add-on at checkout and does not affect the seller’s shipping, earnings, or payouts. The goal is to give buyers added confidence and help sellers convert more sales by allowing buyers to opt into coverage for return reasons like fit or changed mind.*
    • For Buyers: Worry-Free Returns, powered by SEEL, can be added at checkout and offers additional flexibility beyond Posh Protect. This includes returns for reasons like fit issues or a change of mind. Buyers will have up to 7 days from delivery to initiate a return directly with Seel.
    • For Sellers: Your earnings and payout timing will not be impacted. Worry-Free Returns are handled entirely by Seel, and returned items are sent back to Seel, not to you. No action is required from sellers.
  • Find more details in our Support Center.

*This update is currently only available for U.S. sellers.

Posh Preview January

Image

As we step into a new year, we want to start with a sincere thank you. Your dedication helped make 2025 our strongest holiday season yet. We know Poshmark has evolved over the past year, and we’re excited to keep building together in 2026.

We’re introducing Posh Preview, a quarterly update designed to give you more transparency into Poshmark’s priorities. At the start of each quarter, you’ll get a look at what we’re working on and have the opportunity to share feedback to help shape what’s next. 

This Quarter’s Priorities

These are the priorities our team is hard at work on for the first quarter of 2026.  

Providing Transparency for Sellers

We want you to have visibility to new features and app updates in real time. We have launched an in-app Seller Updates hub that will be updated when we make meaningful app improvements and launch new features. It can be found in the app by going to your closet, clicking on Seller Tools > Community & Support > Seller Updates. On the web, use the Account drop-down in the upper right hand corner. 

Simplifying In-App Notifications

We’ve heard feedback that too many in-app notifications can feel overwhelming. When everything shows up at once, it’s harder to spot what matters most, like offers and sales, and this can clutter the News tab. 

We’re streamlining and organizing notifications to make your experience clearer and more focused. The first change you’ll notice is that Shares and Followers notifications will no longer appear in the All section of the News tab and will instead live in their own dedicated sections.

Refreshing the App Experience

We’re working on a refreshed app experience to make shopping and selling simpler, smarter, and more inspiring. You may have noticed that some elements of this refreshed experience have already rolled out, including the new Listing Page view. 

We’re continuing to test and refine the experience with input from a small group of sellers and will be sharing a seller preview before the full rollout. This preview will give you early visibility and time to get familiar with the experience ahead of launch. 

Giving You More Insights

You’ve asked for more visibility into how your listings perform. Later this quarter, we’re introducing listing-level data so you can understand which items are getting the most interest, allowing you to spot trends in your closet and better manage your business. 

Building Buyer Trust Together

We want shoppers to feel confident buying on Poshmark. Reliable order fulfillment and fast shipping help build trust and keep buyers coming back. We’re introducing a new policy to encourage timely order fulfillment. Sellers who cancel more than 3% of orders within a rolling 90-day period may see their accounts placed in a restricted state. This excludes buyer-requested cancellations and cancellations for bundling with another order. Learn more by reviewing our Seller Policy and reach out to Support if you believe you have been restricted in error.

How You Can Be Successful

As Poshmark continues to evolve, focusing on the below fundamentals will help set you up for success. 

  • Focusing on listing quality. Create clear, detailed listings with strong photos, accurate titles, and helpful descriptions. Learn more about how to optimize your listings for discovery on Poshmark and Google by attending the List Smarter, Sell Better webinar on January 30th. RSVP here
  • Sourcing trending and relevant inventory. Stay in tune with what shoppers are looking for by refreshing your closet regularly and paying attention to trending categories and brands. Check out Poshmark’s January BOLO Guide
  • Providing great customer service. Build trust with buyers with quick responses to questions and offers, accurate and detailed listings, fulfilling orders quickly, quality packaging and fast shipping. 

Getting USPS Supplies Just Got Easier

Image

We’re excited to roll out a new update for our seller community: you can now order USPS Ground Advantage supplies directly within the Poshmark app in just a few taps.

This new in-app feature makes it faster and simpler to get boxes and mailers for all your Poshmark orders, without phone calls or emails.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Head to your Account Tab > My Seller Tools > Request USPS Supplies.
  • Choose the box or mailer types you need and select your desired quantities.
  • Confirm your delivery address and submit your request!

Note: This feature is rolling out gradually and may not be available to all sellers yet.

Image

We’ll take it from there. Your order is sent directly to USPS for fulfillment, and once it ships, you’ll receive tracking information via email. You can also track the order status right in the app. 

Before getting started, here are a few helpful details to keep in mind. 

Things to remember:

  • USPS Ground Advantage packaging is exclusively for Poshmark orders.
  • Moving forward, please order packaging only through the app, as phone and email ordering options will be phased out.
  • You can place one order at a time and submit a new request once your current order has been delivered.

In such case, the Sponsor will select the winners from all eligible, non-suspect entries received prior to such action. The Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any individual who tampers or attempts to tamper with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or the Site, or violates these Rules or the Terms of Service. Any attempt by an entrant to deliberately damage any web site or undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a winner based on an email address, the winning entry will be deemed to be made by the authorized account holder of the email address at time of entry.  “Authorized account holder” is the natural person who is assigned an email address by an Internet service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the email address in question. By creating an Account or entering the Sweepstakes, the Sponsor may request your affirmative consent in order to provide promotional emails or offers via a periodic email newsletter. In creating an Account the Sponsor will automatically activate your subscription to receive periodic promotional email newsletters, but such promotional email newsletters will be completely optional.

You may subsequently opt-out of receiving such promotional email newsletters at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter and following the procedures set forth at such link.

Release: By entering the Sweepstakes, you agree that the Sponsor and its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, insurers, servants, parents, advertising, promotion and fulfillment agencies, partners, representatives, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, shareholders, employees, officers and directors, and legal advisors (the “Released Entities”) are not responsible for, shall not be liable for, and hereby disclaim all liability arising from or relating to (i) such entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes and/or his/her acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any prize or any portion thereof, (ii) technical or human failures, malfunctions or difficulties of any kind, including but not limited to the malfunctioning of any computer, cable, network, hardware or software; (iii) the unavailability or inaccessibility of any transmissions or telephone or Internet service; (iv) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Sweepstakes; (v) electronic or human error which may occur in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries; (vi) late, lost, stolen, delayed, damaged, misdirected, misaddressed, incomplete, unintelligible or postage-due entries; (vii) any printing or typographical errors in any materials associated with the Sweepstakes; or (viii) any condition caused by events beyond the control of Sponsor. By participating in the Sweepstakes, participants and the winners agree to release, discharge and hold harmless the Released Entities, and all others associated with the development and execution of the Sweepstakes, from any and all losses, damages, rights, claims and actions of any kind arising out of or relating to the Sweepstakes, participation in the Sweepstakes, the prize, and/or acceptance, possession, use or misuse of the prize, including but not limited to statutory and common law claims for misappropriation or participant’s right of publicity.   

9. Disputes: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Rules or the rights and obligations of entrants or Sponsor in connection with this Sweepstakes are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of any other state’s laws.

10. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

a. Agreement to Arbitrate: This Section is referred to in these Rules as the “Arbitration Agreement.”  You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Sponsor, whether arising out of or relating to these Rules, the Sweepstakes, your participation in the Sweepstakes, the prize, acceptance, possession, use or misuse of the prize (including any alleged breach thereof), any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify.  Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.  You agree that, by participating in the Sweepstakes, you and Sponsor are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.  Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury.  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

b. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.  YOU AND SPONSOR AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SPONSOR AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.  ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). 

c. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Sponsor is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most participant concerns can be resolved quickly and to the participant satisfaction by emailing customer support at [email protected].  If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”).  The Notice to Sponsor should be sent to Poshmark, 203 Redwood Shores Parkway, FL 8, Redwood City, CA 94065, Attn: Poshmark Sweepstakes.  (“Notice Address”).  The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought.  If Sponsor and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Sponsor may commence an arbitration proceeding.  During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Sponsor or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Sponsor is entitled.

d. Arbitration Procedures.  Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.  For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org.  Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration.  If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration.  The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Rules as a court would.  All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement.  Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Rules and applicable law.  Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless Sponsor and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.  If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA.  If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Sponsor agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules.  If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.  Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

e. Costs of Arbitration.  Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement.  Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.  

f. Confidentiality.  All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. 

g. Severability.  If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than clause (b) above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  If a court or arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of clause (b) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.  The remainder of these Rules will continue to apply.

h. Conflict:  In the event of any conflict between any term or condition in this Section 10 and any term or condition in our Terms of Service, then the applicable term or condition in this Section 10 shall apply.

11. Winners List: To obtain a copy of the winners’ names or a copy of these Rules, mail your request along with a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Poshmark, 203 Redwood Shores Parkway, FL 8, Redwood City, CA 94065, Attn: Poshmark Sweepstakes.  Residents of Vermont and Washington need not include return postage. Requests must be received no later than ninety (90) days from the Sweepstakes End Date.

12. Sponsor:  The Sponsor of the Sweepstakes is Poshmark, Inc., 203 Redwood Shores Parkway, FL 8, Redwood City, CA 94065.
